    I haven't done so well. I have a bad knee and it has been slowing me down the last few days. I have been told I need a replacement but I am waiting awhile.

    :flowerforyou: 10,224 steps on Saturday 11017 steps on Sunday.......a lot of my steps have been walking and dancing in front of the TV or walking up and down the hall.......it has been cold and windy here and being outside is so bad that even the young cat doesn't want to stay outside for more than a few minutes. :laugh: :laugh:

    :flowerforyou: it's easier to ride the exercise bike or do arm weight exercises with the TV on but they don't count on the pedometer so I end up annoying my husband by jogging or dancing :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Hi! I just joined MFP, and this caught my eye. In a few days, I'll be getting a pedometer (mum had me pick out one of my presents lol), and I can't wait to have an actual number that I can see increase with more walking! I'll be trying to log more than 10,000 steps/day for sure, I walk all over the place lol!:smile:

    12/20 9955 :laugh: I never looked at it before bed or I would have made it to 10k.
    At least it was better than the last few days.

    Is everyone ready for christmas? I have a fairly light meal planned. Hopefully thats how it works out. :blushing:

    I haven't done a thing the last couple of days. The left side of my face is hurting too much to even consider bouncing up and down for jogging in place or being out in the cold. The roots of teeth in the left side are throbbing to the point where I don't want to do a thing. I may see about getting some in today but I just don't know.

    barbie, you and I are so alike. I've not done any jogging the last few days though, but will be tonight. I have done alright so far today though, up to 7814 without anything in front of the computer. I even did up and down the hall a couple dozen times.

    yesterday was a super day for walking :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: besides line dancing class in the morning, I walked over four miles with a friend in the afternoon and then managed some walking, dancing, and jogging while watching TV for a grand total of 23,586 steps.......I thought it might be a record but I checked the high scores on my pedometer and found that my five high scores are all over 25,000 steps....they were all during the summer and fall when the days were longer with more opportunity for walking outdoors. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Usually for me to get upto a high number I need to walk fast/jog in place in front of the computer while watching TV or a movie. But that day involved no jogging in place in front of the computer.

    Dammit woman where's your sense of adventure??? Run up and down the aisles.. Kidding of course. I hope you had a great Christmas.

    :flowerforyou: BoresEasliy Thanks for explaining jogging in front of the computer......everything I do at the computer can't be done while jogging, now i know that your jogging in front of the computer is like my jogging in front of the TV

    :flowerforyou: there has been only intermittent drizzle today so I was able to go for a real walk.....I tried a new section of the Olympic Discovery Trail that's flat, goes through farmland and past a small airport and has a porta potty.

    :bigsmile: Yesterday December 25 13,602 steps primarily indoors
    the dogs and I went out for almost an hour and the rest of my steps were up and down the hall or in front of the TV.....we enjoyed "Little Fockers"......there were a lot of people at the movies.

    I'm going to be off my feet for the next several days. I was in the garage with the punching bag for the first time in months, nearing the end of my workout and I moved back to throw a kick and my ankle twisted right around and caused my leg to give underneath. It's nice and swollen at the moment and I'm having to hop or crawl around the house. I'm using R.I.C.E at the moment and will be keeping it up for the next few days and hopefully I'll see some improvement.

    barbie, I still think you should have jogged up and down the aisles. Really glad you enjoyed yourself and well done on getting so many steps in.

    BoresEasily, I am so sorry to hear about your ankle.....I remember when I hurt my knee last summer how hard it was for me to sit and wait for it to heal (actually I was very bad and people threatened to seat belt me to my chair so I'd stay down :laugh: )

    Keep us posted about your progress and remember ice is your friend:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
